The reason

I love shoes, and I can't bare to see them perish. When the buckles on my wedding shoes started to rust I thought it's time to do something about it. From now on the shoes might be gone but the appreciation continues!

Christian Louboutin Jurassic sandals 100mm in black suede

Could not walk away from them so here we are. Love how tapered they make my feet look. The straps make a lot of difference in terms of support compared to pumps. True to size.


Christian Louboutin espadrilles in blue fabric

 Are these espadrilles? Or ballet flats? Either way they are pretty cute with the ankle ties. Buy half size up.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Bazin pumps 100mm in multicolor patent

Another pair of Pigalle. The multi-color orange print is actually more difficult to pair than I thought.  Jeans or black i think. :-) Official color is pompadour. Buy half or one size up.

Christian Louboutin Iriza d'orsay pumps 100mm in blue patent

My second pair of Iriza, this time in a cool silvery metallic blue.  Official color is Everest Metal - sounds much better than my description.  The usual Iriza fit with good toe cleavage.  The color gives out a cool vibe.  One of my favourites. True to size.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps 85mm in black patent

I am compromising - must be getting old! I do enjoy the 85mm comfort for day time wear.  They don't look as nice but my feet are grateful.  Pigalle could easily be the best-looking 85mm available so I shouldn't complain. Buy one size up.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps 100mm in beige patent

Another pair of Pigalle Follies in nude to add to the collection.  Still love the shallow toe cap and vamp.  Buy one size up.

Christian Louboutin New Very Prive 120mm in mauve patent and glitter

Another addition to the Prive collection.  I had made a promise to myself to avoid 120mm but I fell into the glitter + Very Prive trap once again. They came in two colors and I pick mauve over powder blue.  I'm hoping the one-inch platform would help make these more wearable.  Buy half to one size up.


Christian Louboutin Rivierina ankle straps 100mm in yellow and pink patent

I would not have tried these on normally but the sales person insisted.  And I had to thank him.  Love the color combination and how they look on my feet.  Very summery and modern and a great addition to a summer wardrobe.  Buy half size up.


Christian Louboutin Ticopump pumps 100mm in blue suede

I suppose it's not always about glitter.  I have solid and normal looking shoes in my collection too.  The usual Louboutin fit and shape.  They feel very similar to Elisa, except the heels are a little different.  Great buy on sale! Buy half size up.


Christian Louboutin Iriza pumps 100mm in glitter

I stepped in the shop to dodge the rain, and I got out with the best shoes (not necessary very friendly for day-to-day use).  Oh well.  Glitter, pointy, d'Orsay. I could not resist.  Love the minimal toe coverage too. It's a pointy version of Helmour. True to size.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps 100mm in black patent

The Pigalle craze continues!  Another black pair with the thinner Follies heels.  Love them!  Buy half size up.  


Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps 100mm in multicolor patent

My souvenir from Dubai! They were on sale too and the only pair left were in my size. It's fate.  Not sure what I will pair them with but they are a nice addition to my Pigalle collection.  Buy half size up.


Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps 100mm in black patent

I am now officially a Pigalle lover.  They are my trusty going out shoes.  The slightly thicker heels (compared to Pigalle Follies) provide a lot more support and stability when under the influence of alcohol. :-)  They go with pretty much everything!  Buy half size up for nice toe cleavage, one size up for more comfort.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps 100mm in purple glitter fishnet

My first pair of Pigalle Follies and I think I'm in love! I never liked pointy shoes but I am officially converted.   Love how they showcase my toes.  The glitter fishnet material ticks all my boxes too.  I also prefer the thinner heels compared to Pigalle.  I am now on the lookout for more Pigalle Follies.  Buy one size up.

Christian Louboutin Cross Street 120mm in gold and black patent

Another find in Madrid.  These are retro, old Hollywood glam! They are not what I was originally looking for (I wanted practical), but I couldn't part with them once I tried them on.  I love how they angle my feet, and they have great toe cleavage.  The hidden platforms seem to ease the 120mm height a little, but I will have to test them out first.  I just need a glamorous outfit to go with them! True to size.


Christian Louboutin You You 85mm in beige patent

A practical and essential pair to add to the collection.  The usual Louboutin comfort. Buy half size up.

Christian Louboutin Lagoula ankle strap sandals 120mm in red leather and black lace

I had been wanting to get shoes with more manageable heights, i. e. 80mm, but somehow I always ended up with super-high heels over and over again.  I guess the extra height does arch my feet in a certain way which I find irresistible. When I tried these on I immediately felt so retro. The look belongs to a 1950s mob's muse in NYC.  Had to buy them!  With the hidden platforms the height is just about ok.  It's still very challenging walking downhill for example.  Buy half size up.


Christian Louboutin Fifi pumps 100mm in glitter

My sister wanted me to get her some glitter Loboutins and I found these at the fabulous Harrod's shoe room.  I of course could not walk away from them so I got myself a pair as well.  They have the usual elegant Fifi heels and shape and they are comfortable. I had to run in them on my birthday as we were running late, and I managed!  Buy one size up.

Christian Louboutin Almeria 125mm wedge espadrilles in brown leather

I was not 100% sure about these when I saw them as they are wedges.  I bought them anyway as they were on this crazy sale.  I am glad I bought them as I wear them all the times now, even when I go on holiday as they are so comfortable.  They look a lot better on as they have the usual Loboutin delicate and tapered footbeds.  The colour is very versatile too.  Maybe I have changed my mind about wedges!  True to size.

Christian Louboutin You You 95mm in black patent

Another classic and basic Louboutin which would go with everything.  The usual sexy and comfortable Louboutin shape and cut.  A good addition to the collection.  Buy half size up.
